City Engineers Office, June 18th, 1887
30 his Honor the Mayor aud City
Oonncil: The report OF the COMMITTEES
on grades, streets and alleys referred to
the city engineer at the last meeting OF
tbs CITY council is not very precise as to
the location Of side walk asked for. 1t
reads as follows to wit: "From Tenth
street to the Northwestern railroad
track SOUTH" Now Tenth street ia q
pretty long street. and the N. w, r. r.
track is long too, and there are q great
number of blocks, lots and streets be-
tween them. / have, hnweYer, assumed
that 1t is on Walnut street that the walk
is wanted, if / am correct in my guess
as to location. Lots l and 3 belong to
o widow woman by the name OF Hast
man, lot3 IS owned by David Finnegan,
lots 4, b, + and Z are owned by Stewart,
Of the firm of Wetmore &c Stewart. and
lot s is owned by Mrs. Owen Bartlett
South OF Ninth street to the railroad
track is owned by Stewart. The CITY,
nnder the nsnal custom where walks
are built by property owners, would have
one crossing to build across Ninth street
which would require but little filing.
Very Respectfully,
Ed. PALMER, City Engineer.
